Just like hitting a blocking dummy in a football practice is very different different than tangling with a real opponent on the field paper trading is never comparable to the real deal. Yet both have their place. Early on paper trading can show a diligent student that there are no sure...

My experience with http://deepdiscounttrading.com/ has been first rate. If you decide to stay with IB scalpers love Button Trader. I have never used it but it plays to universal raves.

I once asked my brother, who likes opera (I don't), whether Pavarotti was still as good as he used to be. He said "No, but he is still better than anyone else." Soros may not remain among the best but my bet is he is still very sharp.

No ... that doesn't fit the described scenario. I was responding to his contention that Soros bought at the top of four separate moves and puked each one at the bottom. That does not happen if your stops are tight.

Given his track record can't we assume his size on losing bets was relatively small?

The concept of adding to winners is by no means new or unique. Jesse Livermore, James R. Keene and many other trading legends did it in much the same way. Soros was right more often than almost anyone, pushed his great bets further and cashed in expertly. But to say what separated him from...

Got it.

Yes ... CL is a horse of a different color yet you use MP to trade it. Is it that CL is a bad instrument to learn MP but a good one to trade or something else? I hope these questions are not taking you off track. This is clearly a valuable thread for novices that aspire to use MP correctly.

My comment was directed at jeb9999 in response to his post.

Why ES for hand charting? Is it that the huge volume/liquidity make it run more true to form? I know you trade CL but that is a good deal "thinner" ... hence my question.

Real charity is best kept anonymous so all I'll say is at the time we lived less than 300 yards from the WTC and my wife had left a position at 2 World Trade a year earlier... so yes, we know scores of people who died on 9/11. I see you will talk of almost anything except your original post...

Why would you pretend that somehow pointing out how absurd the progression is in your posts and intellectually dishonest it is taking it personally. Go back ... look at your initial statements and defend them if you can. Pointing out how inane your statements are is not being sensitive or...

Your statement wasn't a generality it was an absolute. Now you are changing it to a generality to make it defensible. The tune has changed.

It's a huge (and inane) leap to assume because women instigate most divorces that when the lad does (as you seem to call 40 and 50 year old men) the woman HAS TO HAVE deep mental problems. Suppose this "lad" met someone else that he believes will make him happier or the current wife has not...

"A lad would only file" -- your contention is that all of the women (or even almost all) that are divorced by their husbands have "deep mental disorders"? That's really crackpot thinking.

Came in this morning: Hello, Swan Noir! August 2nd 2014 Announcement Hi guys, AMP Global Clearing (aka AMP Futures) sued BMT on February 4th 2014 regarding posts made on the...

Isn't that why you have substantive conversations away from a public board ... to find out more?

Historically my entries have almost all been prestaged but I'm curious as to what latency an at the market scalper would need to be competitive. I'm surprised no one in this thread seems to have an answer. I'll guess that anything north of 80 ms is unacceptable but that is quite an uneducated...

If I stage it ahead of time the answer becomes irrelevant. If I am entering at the market is when it counts.

What do you guys consider the max reasonable latency for a 10t scalper in CL? I'm not asking for what does not work I am asking what does work and the limit for that. BTW ... I'm not relating the question to Satellite which clearly is too slow. Thanks
